Description

この発明は、停車時に圧縮機の駆動源であるエンジンを一時的に停止させる車両のカーエアコンに用いられる蓄冷機能付きエバポレータに関する。   The present invention relates to an evaporator with a cold storage function used in a car air conditioner of a vehicle that temporarily stops an engine that is a drive source of a compressor when the vehicle is stopped.

この明細書および特許請求の範囲において、図1の上下を上下というものとする。また、この明細書および特許請求の範囲において、「アルミニウム」という用語には、純アルミニウムの他にアルミニウム合金を含むものとする。   In this specification and claims, the top and bottom of FIG. In this specification and claims, the term “aluminum” includes aluminum alloys in addition to pure aluminum.

近年、環境保護や自動車の燃費向上などを目的として、信号待ちなどの停車時にエンジンを自動的に停止させる自動車が提案されている。   In recent years, automobiles have been proposed that automatically stop the engine when the vehicle stops, such as when waiting for a signal, for the purpose of environmental protection or improvement in automobile fuel efficiency.

しかしながら、通常のカーエアコンにおいては、エンジンを停止させると、エンジンを駆動源とする圧縮機が停止するので、エバポレータに冷媒が供給されなくなり、冷房能力が急激に低下するという問題がある。   However, in a normal car air conditioner, when the engine is stopped, the compressor using the engine as a driving source stops, so that there is a problem that the refrigerant is not supplied to the evaporator and the cooling capacity is rapidly reduced.

そこで、このような問題を解決するために、エバポレータに蓄冷機能を付与し、エンジンが停止して圧縮機が停止した際に、エバポレータに蓄えられた冷熱を放冷して車室内を冷却することが考えられている。   Therefore, in order to solve such problems, the evaporator is provided with a cold storage function, and when the engine stops and the compressor stops, the cold stored in the evaporator is discharged to cool the vehicle interior. Is considered.

この種の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータとして、上下方向に間隔をおいて配置された1対のタンクと、両タンク間に、幅方向を通風方向に向けるとともにタンクの長さ方向に間隔をおいて配置され、かつ両端部がそれぞれ両タンクに通じさせられた複数の扁平状冷媒流通管と、上下方向にのびるとともに冷媒流通管に熱的に接触させられた複数の蓄冷材容器とを備えており、各蓄冷材容器が、1つの密閉された空間を有するとともに、当該空間内に潜熱蓄冷材が封入されており、蓄冷材容器内の蓄冷材が、冷媒流通管内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱により冷却されるようになされている蓄冷機能付きエバポレータが提案されている(特許文献1参照)。   As an evaporator with this kind of cold storage function, a pair of tanks arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and between the two tanks, the width direction is directed in the direction of ventilation and the tanks are arranged at intervals in the length direction. And a plurality of flat refrigerant flow pipes whose both ends are respectively communicated with both tanks, and a plurality of cold storage material containers that extend in the vertical direction and are in thermal contact with the refrigerant flow pipes, The regenerator container has one sealed space, and the latent heat regenerator material is enclosed in the space, and the regenerator material in the regenerator container is cooled by the cold heat of the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant distribution pipe. An evaporator with a cold storage function that has been configured as described above has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

特許文献1記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、圧縮機が作動している通常の冷房時には、冷媒流通管内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱が、蓄冷材容器内の蓄冷材に伝わって蓄冷材に蓄えられ、圧縮機が停止した際には、蓄冷材容器内の蓄冷材に蓄えられた冷熱が、蓄冷材容器が熱的に接触させられた冷媒流通管を通って通風間隙に配置されたフィンに伝えられ、フィンから当該通風間隙を流れる空気に放冷されるようになっている。   According to the evaporator with the cold storage function described in Patent Document 1, during normal cooling when the compressor is operating, the cold heat of the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant distribution pipe is transmitted to the cold storage material in the cold storage material container and stored in the cold storage material. When the compressor is stopped, the cold energy stored in the cool storage material in the cool storage material container passes through the refrigerant flow pipe in which the cool storage material container is in thermal contact with the fins arranged in the ventilation gap. It is transmitted and it cools to the air which flows through the said ventilation gap from a fin.

ところで、この種の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータの蓄冷材容器内に封入される蓄冷材としては、融点が5〜10℃に調整されたパラフィン系の潜熱蓄熱材を用いるのが一般的である。たとえば特許文献1に記載された蓄冷機能付きエバポレータにおいても、蓄冷材容器内に封入される蓄冷材としては、融点が6℃であるテトラデカンが用いられている。   By the way, as a cool storage material enclosed in the cool storage material container of this kind of evaporator with a cool storage function, it is common to use the paraffin-type latent heat storage material in which melting | fusing point was adjusted to 5-10 degreeC. For example, also in the evaporator with a cool storage function described in Patent Document 1, tetradecane having a melting point of 6 ° C. is used as the cool storage material enclosed in the cool storage material container.

また、蓄冷材容器の強度は、通常の使用環境温度範囲、たとえば−40〜90℃の範囲内においては、液相状態の蓄冷材が密度変化するとともに、蓄冷材容器内に残存している空気が熱膨張することにより内圧が上昇したとしても、破損しないような強度に設計されている。しかしながら、車両火災などにより周囲の温度が通常の使用環境温度範囲よりも高温になると、液相状態の蓄冷材の密度変化、および蓄冷材容器内に残存している空気の熱膨張が著しくなり、内圧が異常に上昇して蓄冷材容器が破裂するおそれがある。   In addition, the strength of the cold storage material container is such that the liquid phase state of the cold storage material changes in density and the air remaining in the cold storage material container within a normal operating environment temperature range, for example, a range of −40 to 90 ° C. Even if the internal pressure increases due to thermal expansion, the strength is designed so as not to break. However, when the ambient temperature becomes higher than the normal operating environment temperature range due to a vehicle fire or the like, the density change of the cold storage material in the liquid phase and the thermal expansion of the air remaining in the cold storage container become significant, The internal pressure may rise abnormally and the cool storage material container may burst.

特許第4043776号公報Japanese Patent No. 4043776

この発明の目的は、上記問題を解決し、周囲の温度が通常の使用環境温度範囲よりも高温になった際の蓄冷材容器の破裂を防止しうる蓄冷機能付きエバポレータを提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide an evaporator with a cold storage function that solves the above problems and can prevent the cold storage material container from bursting when the ambient temperature becomes higher than the normal use environment temperature range.

The cold storage material container is provided with an outlet for allowing the cold storage material to flow out when the internal pressure is abnormally increased, and the outlet is closed by a plug member that is at least partially fitted into the outlet, and is made of a material that forms the plug member. The evaporator with a cool storage function whose thermal expansion coefficient is smaller than the thermal expansion coefficient of the material which forms a cool storage material container.

2)栓部材を形成する材料の熱膨張率が、蓄冷材容器を形成する材料の熱膨張率の1/2以下である上記1)記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ。   2) The evaporator with a cold storage function according to the above 1), wherein the material forming the plug member has a thermal expansion coefficient equal to or less than ½ of the thermal expansion coefficient of the material forming the cold storage material container.

3)栓部材を形成する材料がステンレス鋼であり、蓄冷材容器を形成する材料がアルミニウムである上記1)または2)記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ。   3) The evaporator with a cool storage function according to 1) or 2) above, wherein the material forming the plug member is stainless steel, and the material forming the cool storage material container is aluminum.

4)蓄冷材容器の流出口の断面形状が円形であり、栓部材の少なくとも一部分が、直径が流出口の内径よりも大きい球状、または大端径が流出口の内径よりも大きい円錐状となっている上記1)〜3)のうちのいずれかに記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ。   4) The cross-sectional shape of the outlet of the regenerator container is circular, and at least a part of the plug member has a spherical shape whose diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the outlet or a conical shape whose large end diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the outlet. The evaporator with a cold storage function according to any one of 1) to 3) above.

上記1)〜7)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、蓄冷材容器に、内圧の異常上昇時に蓄冷材を流出させる流出口が設けられ、流出口が、少なくとも一部が流出口内に嵌め入れられる栓部材により閉鎖されており、栓部材を形成する材料の熱膨張率が、蓄冷材容器を形成する材料の熱膨張率よりも小さくなっているので、たとえば車両火災などにより通常の使用環境温度範囲よりも高温、たとえば100℃以上の温度にさらされた場合には、蓄冷材容器の熱膨張量が栓部材の熱膨張量よりも大きくなり、流出口の周縁部と栓部材との間に隙間が生じる。したがって、蓄冷材容器内の蓄冷材および残存空気が流出口から流出して内圧が低減され、蓄冷材容器の破裂が防止される。なお、蓄冷材封入部の強度は、通常の使用環境温度範囲、たとえば−40〜90℃の範囲内においては、液相状態の蓄冷材が密度変化するとともに、蓄冷材封入部内に残存している空気が熱膨張することにより内圧が上昇したとしても、破損しないような強度に設計されている。   According to the evaporator with a cold storage function of 1) to 7) above, the cold storage container is provided with an outlet for allowing the cold storage material to flow out when the internal pressure is abnormally increased, and the outlet is at least partially fitted into the outlet. Since the thermal expansion coefficient of the material forming the plug member is smaller than the thermal expansion coefficient of the material forming the cold storage material container, it is closed by the plug member. When exposed to a higher temperature, for example, 100 ° C. or higher, the amount of thermal expansion of the cold storage material container becomes larger than the amount of thermal expansion of the plug member, and there is a gap between the peripheral edge of the outlet and the plug member. Occurs. Therefore, the regenerator material and the remaining air in the regenerator material container flow out from the outlet and the internal pressure is reduced, and the regenerator material container is prevented from bursting. In addition, the strength of the regenerator material enclosing portion is within the normal use environment temperature range, for example, in the range of −40 to 90 ° C., the density of the regenerator material in the liquid phase changes and remains in the regenerator material enclosing portion. Even if the internal pressure rises due to the thermal expansion of the air, it is designed to be strong enough not to break.

上記4)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、蓄冷材容器の流出口を栓部材により確実に閉鎖することができる。   According to the evaporator with a cool storage function of 4), the outlet of the cool storage material container can be reliably closed by the plug member.

上記5)および6)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、たとえば車両火災などにより通常の使用環境温度範囲よりも高温、たとえば100℃以上の温度にさらされて蓄冷材容器内の蓄冷材および残存空気が流出口から流出する際に、飛び防止部材によって栓部材の飛びが防止されるので、安全性が向上する。   According to the evaporator with a cold storage function of 5) and 6) above, the cold storage material and the remaining air in the cold storage container are exposed to a temperature higher than the normal use environment temperature range, for example, 100 ° C. or more due to, for example, a vehicle fire. When the valve flows out from the outlet, the jump prevention member prevents the plug member from jumping, so that safety is improved.

Is provided. The stepped cylindrical member (33) is integrally formed on the upper side of the small diameter portion (35) and the small diameter portion (35) via the taper portion (36) and protrudes outside the cold storage material container (16). The large-diameter portion (37) is a cylindrical portion that houses the plug member (31). The small-diameter portion (35) has a cylindrical flange portion (34) whose upper end is substantially at the same height as the upper end of the cylindrical flange portion (34) and whose lower end portion projects into the outwardly projecting portion (22). And is passed through the through hole (32) and brazed to the cylindrical flange portion (34) in this state. And the cylindrical internal channel | path of the small diameter part (35) of the stepped cylindrical member (33) becomes the outflow port (30). Here, the core layer of the aluminum brazing sheet forming both the aluminum plates (24) constituting the cold storage material container (16) and the aluminum forming the stepped cylindrical member (33) are preferably the same material. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

The plug member (31) is at least partially spherical with a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the outlet (30) and smaller than the inner diameter of the large diameter portion (37) of the stepped cylindrical member (33). May be. Further, a plurality of jump prevention members (38) formed of claws projecting radially inward at the upper end of the large-diameter portion (37) of the stepped cylindrical member (33) and preventing the plug member (31) from jumping. Are integrally provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. The jump preventing member (38) also serves as a pressing portion that prevents the outlet (30) from being opened by pressing the plug member (31) from the outside and pressing it against the upper end of the small diameter portion (35). The plug member (31) is attached to the cool storage material container (16) after brazing all the parts of the evaporator (1) with the cool storage function including the cool storage material container (16) together. Before the plug member (31) is mounted, the jump preventing member (38) extends straight upward in the axial direction of the large diameter portion (37) as shown by a chain line in FIG. Is bent inward in the radial direction after being placed in the large diameter portion (37).

ここで、栓部材(31)を形成する材料の熱膨張率が、蓄冷材容器(16)を構成するアルミニウム板(24)の芯層および段付き円筒状部材(33)を構成するアルミニウムの熱膨張率よりも小さくなっており、たとえば栓部材(31)を形成する材料の熱膨張率が、蓄冷材容器(16)を構成するアルミニウム板(24)の芯層および段付き円筒状部材(33)を構成するアルミニウムの熱膨張率の1/2以下であることが好ましい。具体的に例示すれば、蓄冷材容器(16)を構成するアルミニウム板(24)の芯層および段付き円筒状部材(33)を構成するアルミニウムが、熱膨張率が23×10−6/℃であるJIS A3003からなり、栓部材(31)が、熱膨張率が10.4×10−6/℃であるJIS SUS410からなることが好ましい。 Here, the thermal expansion coefficient of the material forming the plug member (31) is such that the core layer of the aluminum plate (24) constituting the cold storage material container (16) and the heat of the aluminum constituting the stepped cylindrical member (33).

上述した蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(1)は、車両のエンジンを駆動源とする圧縮機、圧縮機から吐出された冷媒を冷却するコンデンサ(冷媒冷却器)、コンデンサを通過した冷媒を減圧する膨張弁(減圧器)とともに冷凍サイクルを構成し、カーエアコンとして、停車時に圧縮機の駆動源であるエンジンを一時的に停止させる車両、たとえば自動車に搭載される。そして、圧縮機が作動している場合には、圧縮機で圧縮されてコンデンサおよび膨張弁を通過した低圧の気液混相の2相冷媒が、冷媒入口(7)を通って蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(1)の風下側上ヘッダ部(5)内に入り、前側の全冷媒流通管(13)を通って風下側下ヘッダ部(9)内に流入する。風下側下ヘッダ部(9)内に入った冷媒は、連通部材(12)を通って風上側下ヘッダ部(11)内に入った後、後側の全冷媒流通管(13)を通って出口ヘッダ部(6)内に流入し、冷媒出口(8)から流出する。そして、冷媒が冷媒流通管(13)内を流れる間に、通風間隙(15)を通過する空気と熱交換をし、冷媒は気相となって流出する。   The evaporator with a cold storage function (1) described above includes a compressor that uses a vehicle engine as a drive source, a condenser that cools the refrigerant discharged from the compressor (refrigerant cooler), and an expansion valve that depressurizes the refrigerant that has passed through the condenser ( A refrigeration cycle is configured together with a decompressor, and is mounted as a car air conditioner on a vehicle, such as an automobile, that temporarily stops an engine that is a drive source of a compressor when the vehicle stops. When the compressor is operating, the low-pressure gas-liquid mixed-phase two-phase refrigerant compressed by the compressor and passed through the condenser and the expansion valve passes through the refrigerant inlet (7) and has an evaporator with a cold storage function ( It enters the leeward upper header part (5) of 1) and flows into the leeward lower header part (9) through the front all refrigerant circulation pipe (13). The refrigerant that has entered the leeward lower header portion (9) passes through the communication member (12), enters the leeward lower header portion (11), and then passes through the rear refrigerant circulation pipe (13). It flows into the outlet header (6) and flows out from the refrigerant outlet (8). While the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant flow pipe (13), heat exchange is performed with the air passing through the ventilation gap (15), and the refrigerant flows out in a gas phase.

このとき、冷媒流通管(13)内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱によって蓄冷材容器(16)の本体部(21)内の蓄冷材が冷却され、さらに本体部(21)内の冷却された蓄冷材の有する冷熱がインナーフィン(23)を介して蓄冷材容器(16)の外方張り出し部(22)内の蓄冷材に伝えられるとともに、通風間隙(15)を通って冷媒により冷やされた空気の有する冷熱が外方張り出し部(22)内の蓄冷材に伝えられ、その結果蓄冷材容器(16)内全体の蓄冷材に冷熱が蓄えられる。   At this time, the cold storage material in the main body (21) of the cold storage material container (16) is cooled by the cold heat of the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant flow pipe (13), and further the cooled cold storage material in the main body (21) The cold heat of the air is transmitted to the cool storage material in the outwardly projecting portion (22) of the cool storage material container (16) through the inner fin (23) and the air cooled by the refrigerant through the ventilation gap (15). The cold heat that has is transmitted to the cold storage material in the outwardly projecting portion (22), and as a result, cold heat is stored in the entire cold storage material in the cold storage material container (16).

圧縮機が停止した場合には、蓄冷材容器(16)の本体部(21)および外方張り出し部(22)内の蓄冷材の有する冷熱が、インナーフィン(23)を介して本体部(21)および外方張り出し部(22)の左右両側壁に伝えられる。本体部(21)の左右両側壁に伝えられた冷熱は、冷媒流通管(13)を通過し、当該冷媒流通管(13)にろう付されているアウターフィン(17)のフィン本体部(25)を介して蓄冷材容器(16)が配置されている通風間隙(15)の両隣の通風間隙(15)を通過する空気に伝えられる。外方張り出し部(22)の左右両側壁に伝えられた冷熱は、外方張り出し部(22)の左右両側面にろう付されたアウターフィン(17)の外方張り出し部(26)を介して通風間隙(15)を通過する空気に伝えられる。したがって、エバポレータ(1)を通過した風の温度が上昇したとしても、当該風は冷却されるので、冷房能力の急激な低下が防止される。   When the compressor is stopped, the cold energy of the cool storage material in the main body (21) and the outwardly projecting portion (22) of the cool storage material container (16) is transferred through the inner fin (23) to the main body (21 ) And the left and right side walls of the outward projecting portion (22). The cold transmitted to the left and right side walls of the main body (21) passes through the refrigerant flow pipe (13) and is finned to the fin main body (25) of the outer fin (17) brazed to the refrigerant flow pipe (13). ) Is transmitted to the air passing through the ventilation gap (15) adjacent to the ventilation gap (15) where the cool storage material container (16) is disposed. The cold heat transmitted to the left and right side walls of the outward projecting part (22) passes through the outer projecting part (26) of the outer fin (17) brazed to the left and right side surfaces of the outer projecting part (22). It is transmitted to the air passing through the ventilation gap (15). Therefore, even if the temperature of the wind that has passed through the evaporator (1) rises, the wind is cooled, so that a rapid decrease in the cooling capacity is prevented.

たとえば車両火災などによって、周囲の温度が通常の使用環境温度範囲よりも高温、たとえば100℃以上の温度になると、液相状態の蓄冷材の密度変化および蓄冷材容器(16)内に残存している空気の熱膨張が顕著になって、蓄冷材容器(16)の内圧が異常に上昇しようとする。しかしながら、栓部材(31)も加熱されることになり、蓄冷材容器(16)および段付き円筒状部材(33)の熱膨張量が栓部材(31)の熱膨張量よりも大きくなって、図5に示すように、流出口(30)の周縁部と栓部材(31)との間に隙間が生じる。したがって、蓄冷材容器(16)内の蓄冷材および残存空気が流出口(30)から流出して内圧が低減され、蓄冷材容器(16)の破裂が防止される。   For example, when the ambient temperature becomes higher than the normal operating environment temperature range, for example, 100 ° C. or more due to a vehicle fire or the like, the density change of the cold storage material in the liquid phase and the remaining in the cold storage container (16). The thermal expansion of the air in the air becomes remarkable, and the internal pressure of the cool storage material container (16) tends to rise abnormally. However, the plug member (31) will also be heated, and the amount of thermal expansion of the cold storage material container (16) and the stepped cylindrical member (33) becomes larger than the amount of thermal expansion of the plug member (31), As shown in FIG. 5, a gap is formed between the peripheral edge of the outlet (30) and the plug member (31). Accordingly, the regenerator material and residual air in the regenerator container (16) flow out from the outlet (30), the internal pressure is reduced, and the regenerator container (16) is prevented from bursting.

図6は蓄冷材容器(16)に設けられかつ内圧の異常上昇時に蓄冷材を流出させる流出口を閉鎖する栓部材の変形例を示す。   FIG. 6 shows a modification of the plug member that is provided in the cool storage material container (16) and closes the outlet from which the cool storage material flows out when the internal pressure is abnormally increased.

図6に示す栓部材(40)の場合、下部が、下方に向かって縮径されかつ流出口(30)の内径よりも大きい大端径を有する円錐状となっており、上部が、円錐部(41)の大端径と等しい直径を有する円柱状となっている。円柱部を(42)で示す。栓部材(40)は、上述した栓部材(31)と同じ材料で形成される。栓部材(40)は、円錐部(41)の外周円錐面が段付き円筒状部材(33)のテーパ部(36)の内周面に沿わされるとともに、円柱部(42)の外周面が大径部(37)の内周面に沿わされた状態で、円錐部(41)の下部が流出口(30)内に嵌め入れられ、流出口(30)が栓部材(40)により閉鎖されている。なお、栓部材(40)は、全体に円錐状であってもよい。また、栓部材(40)は、飛び防止部材(38)により外側から押さえられて小径部(35)の上端に押し付けられ、これにより流出口(30)の開放が防止されている。   In the case of the plug member (40) shown in FIG. 6, the lower part has a conical shape whose diameter is reduced downward and has a large end diameter larger than the inner diameter of the outlet (30), and the upper part is a conical part. It has a cylindrical shape having a diameter equal to the large end diameter of (41). The cylindrical part is indicated by (42). The plug member (40) is formed of the same material as the plug member (31) described above. The plug member (40) has an outer peripheral conical surface of the conical portion (41) along the inner peripheral surface of the tapered portion (36) of the stepped cylindrical member (33) and an outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion (42). The lower part of the conical part (41) is fitted into the outlet (30) in a state along the inner peripheral surface of the large diameter part (37), and the outlet (30) is closed by the plug member (40). ing. The plug member (40) may be conical as a whole. Further, the plug member (40) is pressed from the outside by the jump preventing member (38) and pressed against the upper end of the small diameter portion (35), thereby preventing the outlet (30) from being opened.

たとえば車両火災などによって、周囲の温度が通常の使用環境温度範囲よりも高温、たとえば100℃以上の温度になると、液相状態の蓄冷材の密度変化および蓄冷材容器(16)内に残存している空気の熱膨張が顕著になって、蓄冷材容器(16)の内圧が異常に上昇しようとする。しかしながら、栓部材(40)も加熱されることになり、蓄冷材容器(16)および段付き円筒状部材(33)の熱膨張量が栓部材(40)の熱膨張量よりも大きくなって、流出口(30)の周縁部と栓部材(40)の円錐部(41)との間に隙間が生じる。したがって、蓄冷材容器(16)内の蓄冷材および残存空気が流出口(30)から流出して内圧が低減され、蓄冷材容器(16)の破裂が防止される。   For example, when the ambient temperature becomes higher than the normal operating environment temperature range, for example, 100 ° C. or more due to a vehicle fire or the like, the density change of the cold storage material in the liquid phase and the remaining in the cold storage container (16). The thermal expansion of the air in the air becomes remarkable, and the internal pressure of the cool storage material container (16) tends to rise abnormally. However, the plug member (40) is also heated, and the amount of thermal expansion of the cold storage material container (16) and the stepped cylindrical member (33) is larger than the amount of thermal expansion of the plug member (40), A gap is formed between the peripheral edge of the outlet (30) and the conical part (41) of the plug member (40). Accordingly, the regenerator material and residual air in the regenerator container (16) flow out from the outlet (30), the internal pressure is reduced, and the regenerator container (16) is prevented from bursting.

上述した実施形態においては、蓄冷材容器(16)の流出口(30)は、蓄冷材容器(16)に段付き円筒状部材(33)を、貫通穴(32)に挿入した状態で固定することにより設けられているが、これに限定されるものではなく、円筒状部材を貫通穴(32)に挿入した状態で固定することにより設けたり、あるいは蓄冷材容器(16)の周壁に一体に設けてもよい。   In the embodiment described above, the outlet (30) of the cold storage material container (16) is fixed to the cold storage material container (16) in a state where the stepped cylindrical member (33) is inserted into the through hole (32). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is provided by fixing the cylindrical member inserted in the through hole (32), or integrated with the peripheral wall of the cold storage material container (16). It may be provided.
